"Even if it's not Demon, if it has the aura of Demon, it's still related to Demon. I'll slash it a couple of times first!" Cen Peishan said.

Lin Mu looked somewhat helpless as he took the Bone Fan from the man's hand and examined it carefully.

The Bone Fan has a trace of Demon aura, and it is very likely that it was made from the bones of Demon.

In contrast, the man had clear eyes and exuded a strong youthful aura.

It couldn't be Demon in disguise.

"The Demon aura should be coming from the Bone Fan in his hand, it has nothing to do with him!" Lin Mu said.

Cen Peishan's face showed a hint of anger, and she snorted coldly.

"Alright! You can go now! Don't bring this kind of thing around the school again," Lin Mu said.

The man nodded repeatedly, took the Bone Fan, and quickly left.

But before he could get far, several figures came down from upstairs.

"Who exactly are you people? I noticed you just now!"

A tall man with a somewhat fierce look in his eyes questioned him.

Lin Mu immediately said, "There are signs of Demon in this area. We are ordered to investigate!"

"On orders? On whose orders?" the tall man asked in a cold voice.

There was also a coldness in the eyes of the people behind him.

Although they were poor students, they had their own cliques and a natural aversion to students like Lin Mu who were more talented.

Because they were all top students in their respective schools.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to get into Sacred Origin Martial School.

But unexpectedly, upon arriving here, all his enthusiasm was extinguished.

The so-called Martial Arts Exam is nothing more than a ticket to see them.

No matter how hard they try, they can never surpass them.

Moreover, the college has limited internal resources.

Students with poor grades or weak backgrounds will not receive any special treatment.

They also moved here from the attic.

Naturally, there was a lot of resentment in their hearts.

Lin Mu and the others had very strong Blood Qi, which made them feel different from others.

Naturally, it refers to the students in the Top Class.

"Blade Inquiry Academy, Lin Yaoyao!" Lin Mu explained.

"I don't know this person. You set up Formation in front of the dormitory without permission, which is against the rules. If you don't want to cause trouble for the Academic Affairs Office, remove the Formation!" the tall man said coldly.

"Aren't you afraid that there are Demon mixed among you?" Lin Mu asked rhetorically.

"What's there to be afraid of? Humans are more terrifying than Demon!" the tall man shouted.

Lin Mu nodded slightly, turned around and looked at Pang Ruirui: "Turn off the Formation first!"

Pang Ruirui was slightly taken aback, but still nodded.

There was a hint of anger in Cen Peishan's eyes.

These people are clearly looking for trouble.

Lin Mu didn't say anything more, turned around and walked outside.

After leaving the dormitory building, Cen Peishan couldn't help but ask.

"He's so arrogant, can you really tolerate it?"

Lin Mu remained calm. "This person must have some status here. Turning against him directly will only make things more complicated! Besides, I already know how to find the Demon!"

Cen Peishan looked puzzled.

"What's the meaning!"

"You'll find out tonight!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

Pang Ruirui stood to the side, a look of doubt on her face.

Night falls.

The dormitory building was brightly lit, and many students had returned to their dormitories.

Although they were poor students, many of them still worked very hard.

However, in this world, talent determines a lot.

Without the system, Lin Mu wouldn't even be able to get through the gate here.

"That's about it!" Lin Mu said softly.

"What do you mean?" Cen Peishan looked puzzled.

Lin Mu's figure could be seen walking towards the entrances of various dormitory buildings, and he took out several Divine Soul Crystal from his pocket.

These crystals were obtained in the Secret Realm.

Lin Mu placed them in a relatively secluded spot and hid behind a tree.

Pang Ruirui and Cen Peishan looked puzzled.

They waited quietly.

Not long after, a figure came down from upstairs. He sniffed around and his movements didn't seem human; they were more like those of a wild beast.

When he saw him, there was a hint of indifference in Lin Mu's eyes.

Pang Ruiru and Cen Peishan looked somewhat surprised.

They could also sense that something was wrong with the man in front of them.

"How did you know he would come?" Pang Ruirui couldn't help but ask.

"Thanks to that Bone Fan, I discovered that humans are not very sensitive to the slightest Demon aura. Apart from a few geniuses, most people don't feel anything even when they see the Bone Fan!"

"But Demon are an exception; most of them have keen senses and are even more sensitive to the aura of Demon!"

"Moreover, the Demon we're hunting this time are all skilled at Demon, which means they definitely have a plan!"

"If you have a plan, you need to make connections, so I wanted to give it a try!" Lin Mu explained.

A look of surprise appeared in Pang Ruirui's beautiful eyes.

She hadn't expected Lin Mu to be so smart.

She had never thought of this method before.

There was also a hint of appreciation in Cen Peishan's beautiful eyes.

Lin Mu is not only highly talented, but also has a high IQ.

This is also a plus.

"Let's go!" Lin Mu said immediately.

The two nodded and followed behind Lin Mu.

When they approached the man, he immediately returned to his original state, his expression completely natural.

Without even greeting Lin Mu and the others, he calmly walked to the side.

Lin Mu recognized the man; he had been standing behind the Sturdy Man.

However, there were many people at that time, and Lin Mu did not use his Divine Soul Eye, so he naturally did not know that he was Demon.

"Hey, classmate!" Lin Mu called out.

"What?" the man looked at Lin Mu and asked.

"What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping?" Lin Mu asked with a smile.

"What's it to you?" the man retorted.

"It has nothing to do with me, but it does to the academy! The academy sent me to arrest you, so what do you think I should do?" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Arrest me? What law have I broken? Don't think you can bully people just because you're talented. Here, even geniuses have to cower!" the man shouted.

A long sword appeared in Lin Mu's hand, surrounded by a dense Blood Qi, giving him a slightly ferocious appearance.

Upon seeing this, the man's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted, "Brother Xiong, someone is bullying me here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several figures rushed down from the dormitory building.

It was the same group of people from earlier that day. Their eyes were fixed on Lin Mu, their faces cold and indifferent.

"What do you want to do?" the leader of the group questioned.

"Do I need to explain to you?" Lin Mu retorted.

"Don't go too far! You've been looking for trouble all day, and we thought you'd calmed down, but you're back at night. I think you don't take us seriously at all!" the Sturdy Man shouted.

"If you want others to respect you, you need to have the ability, not just spout nonsense here. Get out of my way!" Lin Mu said coldly.

"Fine! I've had enough. Today I'll have a go at you so-called geniuses!" The Sturdy Man was surrounded by Source Force, and his aura underwent a noticeable change.
